Windows 10: Create storage pool and storage space in storage areas

Like Windows Phone, Storage Sense is a feature for managing storage on your computer. In Windows 10, you can use the feature to understand what's filling up storage and free up space when needed.

The new feature is located in the main list of PC Settings items. When you enter the new page, you will find two sections: "Storage Overview" and "Storage Locations."

The Storage overview shows you all the drives currently connected to your PC (e.g. SD card, external USB drives, internally connected hard drives, etc.), excluding OneDrive. The main drive is labeled "This PC" and is the drive that contains the Windows installation and programs. Clicking or tapping the drive gives you a more detailed view of the locations that are taking up the most storage space.
